The This Is Us Photo Exhibition is a powerful visual journey through the identity, culture, and heritage of Trinidad and Tobago. Opening on May 15th at the National Academy for the Performing Arts, the exhibition brings together over a decade of work by photographer, author, and visual storyteller Richard Ramirez.
In this interview, Ramirez reflects on his evolution from photographer to cultural archivist, the stories behind the exhibition’s key themes, and the importance of preserving national memory for future generations. The conversation also explores how art, technology, and storytelling intersect to document and celebrate the living heritage of Trinidad and Tobago.
